Step One: Receive your ballot
Sign in and receive your ballot from the poll worker. You may also be given a privacy sleeve
to shield your votes from view. Bring your ballot to the privacy booth.
Step Three: Insert your ballot into the Digital Image Scanner
Insert your ballot into the scanner. Directions on how to properly insert the ballot are located
on your ballot. The scanner will accept ballots in any orientation – forward, backward or
upside down.
Step Two: Mark your ballot
For every contest, make your selection using the marking pens provided by poll workers.
It is important to mark the ballot properly. Follow the instructions on how to mark your ballot.
Step Four: Review the screen
Check the display screen to see whether you voted for too many candidates. If you
choose to make changes, select “Don’t Cast-Return” on the touch screen. If you don’t
want to make changes, select “Cast Ballot” on the touch screen. The screen will notify
you when your ballot has been successfully cast.
